“All women have a built-in grain of inde­struc­ti­bi­li­ty. And men’s task has always been to make them rea­li­ze it as late as pos­si­ble.” (Sans Soleil, Chris Marker)

Worldwide, at least one in three women expe­rien­ces phy­si­cal and/​or sexu­al vio­len­ce becau­se they are women. As a soci­e­ty, we can­not find a reme­dy for this vio­len­ce. On the con­tra­ry, in the­se reac­ti­o­na­ry times, this vio­len­ce is expe­rien­cing a revi­val or even a rene­wed glo­ri­fi­ca­ti­on. Worldwide, the­re is a clear bac­klash against women’s rights and pro­tec­ti­on, with gro­wing miso­gy­ny both onli­ne and offli­ne. To main­tain their domi­nan­ce, patri­ar­chal and con­ser­va­ti­ve for­ces must per­pe­tu­a­te and inten­si­fy the oppres­si­on of and vio­len­ce against women. Over the next two years, I will be researching the artis­tic repre­sen­ta­ti­on of gen­der-based vio­len­ce and the soci­al struc­tu­res and dyna­mics that ena­ble this vio­len­ce. I will inves­ti­ga­te how art can poten­ti­al­ly pro­vi­de a spa­ce for the search for jus­ti­ce, for and with victims/​survivors, and for and with bystan­ders and per­pet­ra­tors. To this end, I want to explo­re exis­ting and new artis­tic metho­do­lo­gies that record vio­len­ce, and then devel­op tools and fra­me­works that invi­te alter­na­ti­ve repre­sen­ta­ti­ons — ulti­ma­te­ly with a view to trans­for­ming the tra­di­ti­o­nal dyna­mics sur­roun­ding gen­der-based vio­len­ce against women, within the inti­ma­te-per­so­nal and public-soci­al domains.
